Be not a soggy cigarette

Be all that you can be
so I was told,long ago
be not a soggy cigarette
in a flame gone cold

Keep warm within your package
stoke the fire,light the lamp
snuggle up within your wrapper
at all costs keep out the damp

Dry your eyes in times of woe
dwell not upon the past
lift your heart and soar
try to have a blast

Then when you are needed most
they will reach for you
and strike a jolly flame
and inhale deeply to
